Kicking rocks. A pile outside the garage. Awaiting whenever John decides to shovel up the rest, remove the tatters of worn out black plastic barrier cloth, re-level and then put the rock back down. I am in favor of another step. But if you know me, it’s DOH, of course!

PS Drew moved from Neuro ICU to Med Surg again. Slowly better. 2 days short of 3 weeks. It’s been “challenging”.

My husband's mom died on our driveway, and his response is odd

DEAR ABBY: I’m worried about my husband’s grief response. His mom collapsed and died in our driveway. At the time, I responded quickly. I made sure everyone was fed and paid for the funeral service. That was all fine. But...

Mount driveway is getting a little high for throwing snow over and I've already pushed the top backwards a few times. But now those layers are frozen hard and don't move anymore.

Well, I poured the final phase of my driveway, and what an unpleasant adventure it turned out to be. The demolition went smoothly enough, thanks to a neighbor who needed the old concrete and had a dump truck. Without him, I’m not sure what the contractor would have done—I asked, but never got a coherent answer. The forms went in fine, and up to that point the job seemed on track.

The morning of the pour, though, they still hadn’t installed the reinforcement—no rebar, no wire grid, nothing. I had insisted on rebar and wire supported on proper metal or plastic rebar supports, commonly called chairs. I was hoping for something resembling professional engineering. Instead, the contractor ordered the concrete before the prep work was done, then showed up late, after the first truck had already been waiting more than half an hour. With the clock ticking, he rushed everything.

They dragged in the wire and rebar for the parking pad and threw together a haphazard grid. When I asked about the rebar chairs, he said they didn’t have any. So the pour went ahead with improvised, unstable supports, the rebar sliding around as they tried to hold it off the ground.

The driveway section went similarly, though I allowed wire only. I anticipated poor engineering and compensated by adding fiber to the concrete mix.

I will say the finishing ranged from okay to good—until the end.

The contractor wanted to remove the forms the same day. I told him no, that he needed to wait at least a day, which is best practice. I research the things I’m involved in. He ignored me and removed them, anyway, insisting he “does this all the time” and knows better than anything I could find online.

I paid him and left a terrible Angi review—primarily because he defied my instructions.

Sunrise Over Broken Slabs

When I awoke this morning, the concrete crew was already at work, hoisting massive slabs of my old driveway into a dump truck. Others were grading the ground for the new pour—all of this before sunrise. I almost wish I had posted one of my sunrise photos to mark the moment; I’m sure I have one or two tucked away.

There’s a certain stress in watching your driveway demolished while your car sits trapped in the garage 😱. Still, patience pays: in about a week the concrete will cure enough to drive on, though full strength won’t arrive until 28 days. No worries—we pulled the pickup out earlier and parked it on the section completed a couple of weeks ago.

We lucked out when a neighbor with a dump truck wanted the old concrete. I’m not sure whether we benefited more, or the contractor did. When I asked what they would have done otherwise, they mentioned a long trailer—or perhaps renting one of those dump trailers.

The excavator they’re using is a huge orange Kubota—likely rented, though maybe borrowed. In the shuffle of moving those heavy blocks, one slipped and shattered a windshield. Thankfully no one was hurt, though the operator seemed rattled, and now the contractor has a windshield to replace.

Exciting times indeed.

11 December 2025

I’m having a portion of my driveway redone. They started yesterday and are supposed to pour this morning. I’m a little on edge—I hired the company through Angi. So far, their work is adequate, but I can’t help feeling that this kind of decision-making is part of what makes me, me.

I did my research into concrete—it’s not all the same, you know. The contractor initially proposed pouring 3,000 psi concrete, which is the minimum standard. No doubt he was trying to keep costs low to secure the job. I simply told him to go with 4,000 psi, which is the recommended strength for driveways, and that I’d cover the extra cost.

What frustrates me with contractors is that they often default to the lowest option to win the bid, rarely presenting alternatives. It’s as if they assume all the customer cares about is cost. And yes, cost matters—but so does quality. I understand that cost and quality can be in tension, but I’d rather be given the full picture and make the decision myself. Wouldn’t you?

The contractor got back to me and said the difference between 3,000 psi and 4,000 psi concrete is only $10 per cubic yard. He estimated the job at 12 yards, so the upgrade adds just $120. I paced it off yesterday and suspect it’s closer to 15 cubic yards. We’ll see. I agreed to pay the actual cost of the concrete rather than the estimate baked into his price. Life goes on.
